This resource has been designed to accompany a whole class reading of the picture book The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson.

Students can use the character puppets and booklet of scenes from the text to support them in orally retelling the story. This resource includes:

1. A cover page
2. 4 background scenes
3. 10 images for making puppets
4. A puppet pocket for storing the puppets.

The booklet is printed 2 to a page for easy assembly. Print pages 1-6 back-to-back, flipping on the long edge, and then slice down the middle for 2 separate booklets. Please note that the puppet pocket can be added to the back of the stapled booklet. The puppets can be cut out and taped to pop sticks. If you wish, have students colour in their booklet and puppets!

This resource will allow you to check your students’ understanding of the key elements of the story, including the characters, setting and plot.
